Peter Grant - March Tour
“One To Watch” – Look Magazine
“[Buble] had better watch his back as Leeds born Peter Grant is after his crown” – OK! Magazine
“ A naturally rich voice” – Star Magazine
He’s been endorsed by Gary Barlow who called him “one to watch”, likened him to Adele thanks to his soulful voice, and is already a firm favourite with Radio 2. Not bad for a 24 year-old from York who recorded most of his new album while sleeping on a floor.
If you think you have heard Peter Grant’s name before, it’s probably because you have. Having already released two successful albums, New Vintage and Traditional, the 24-Year-old Yorkshire Born singer-songwriter is back, with his new record, Peter Grant, and is about to hit the UK on tour.
Starting in Stockton on 1st March, the seven-date tour takes in, Milton Keynes, Southampton, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, finishing in London on 16th March.
The album set for release on February 13th 2012, is already creating a stir. Two tracks have already been selected to feature in Noel Clarke’s forthcoming film The Knot. The first single, Too Close, went straight on the Radio 2 play list this Autumn.
“The album is pop as in its popular music and contemporary. But the songs are still credible with big, dramatic sounds and classic production. My voice is naturally very croony, so it’s also got a jazzy feel to it. There are Arabic influences on there, hip-hop grooves, orchestral sounds – it’s a real mish-mash. I spent a lot of time travelling around India and Egypt and those experiences definitely shaped the album too. I finally feel like I’ve made the album I’ve always wanted to.”
